5 Easy Snack Alternatives to Help you Lose Weight:

—

Almonds vs Chips

Raw, unsalted almonds are a great source of omega fatty acids and do just the trick to put substance in your tummy, fuel your metabolism and avoid the calories and fat from traditional chips.

—

Dehydrated Fruit vs Candy

Dried fruit is an easy and tasty way to snack and to get your daily 5 servings. Dried fruits are high in dietary fiber that aid against corpulence, high blood pressure and other factors that contribute to heart disease. If you have a sweet tooth, dried fruit is a great substitute for candy craving.

—

Water/ Iced Tea vs Soda

This tip should be obvious but many forget that even diet sodas are unhealthy. Eliminate soda from your diet completely. If you enjoy a carbonated refreshment, try Club Soda with lemon. If you simply don’t like water, then drink unsweetened iced green or black tea. Try to avoid drinking during meal as liquid dilutes your stomach acids which are crucial for proper digestion.

—

Vegetables vs Snack Crackers

Raw greens are essential to a healthy diet, this is obvious, however many of us fail to incorporate these into daily meals. Instead of grabbing a box of crackers, try snacking baby carrots or snap peas. If raw just isn’t your thing, try Eden’s Vegetable Chips which packs only 130 calories per bag.

—

Whole Grains vs Empty Carbs

Whole grain snacks are rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates, which give you energy and lasting power. Empty carbs, like White Bread are high in sugar and are devoid of nearly all nutrients. Whole grain pretzels are great source for on-the-go energy without the carb crash.

Top 3 Holiday Cosmetic Procedures

December 13, 2010December 13, 2010 ~ Lift Md Aesthetics by Dr. Garo Kassabian ~ Leave a comment

As the holidays roll around, while some people are worrying about what color tie they should buy their father-in-law, the rest of us are concerned with how much better we look this year compared to last. The last minute holiday beauty rush is well on it’s way. Here is the list of Lift MD Aesthetics’s® top 3 cosmetic procedures of the Holiday Season to help you with your decision.

Facelift:

A facelift smoothes loose skin on your face and neck, tightens underlying tissues and removes excess fat. Your bone structure, heredity and skin texture all play a role in how many “years” a facelift can “erase” and, to some extent, influence how long it will last. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a browlift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.

Breast Augmentation:

A breast augmentation can include an enlargement, a reduction or a lift. Breast enlargement, also called augmentation mammoplasty, is designed to increase the size of small or underdeveloped breasts. Surgery can also restore and enhance your breast volume if it has decreased as a result of having children. A breast lift, also called mastopexy, raises and recontours loose, sagging breasts. You may decide you would like a breast lift because you have lost volume and tone in your breasts after having children. Another frequent reason for having this procedure is the loss of a significant amount of weight. Breast reduction, also called reduction mammoplasty, enhances your overall appearance by making your breasts more proportional to the rest of your body.

LipoSculpture:

Lipoplasty, also called liposuction, removes localized collections of fatty tissue to give you a smoother and slimmer body contour. For the best results, you should be of relatively normal weight with extra fat localized in specific areas such as the hips, buttocks and abdomen. Lipoplasty is also effective in removing fat deposits from the back, legs, arms, face and neck.

Go On Vacation and Come Back With A New Body

July 1, 2010October 7, 2010 ~ Lift Md Aesthetics by Dr. Garo Kassabian ~ Leave a comment

If you’re thinking that summer is already here, and it’s far too late for a little “help” to get you on that beach or to that pool party, then you’re wrong. Lift MD Aesthetics® offers a variety of options to help you feel and look your best this summer season.

Dr. Garo Kassabian has always been known for his expertise in Liposculpture. One of the many benefits of Liposculpture is that the recovery time is much less than traditional liposuction, and is significantly less invasive. It is also designed to make moderate changes to the patient’s appearance, and is not to target massive weight loss. Liposculpture essentially removes and “re-assigns” fat through micro-fat grafting to different areas of the body that are deficient and need additional volume to achieve a desired physique and shape. “Most patients can return to work and begin exercising again within a day or two after surgery.” About 90% of patients can see at least some improvements in their physique by one week after surgery.In as little as 1-2 weeks, you can be back in your swim suit, looking better than ever.

For an easier recovery, Lift MD Aesthetics® now offers pre and post-surgery vitamin packs to ensure optimal healing as well as special compression garments that are to be worn for 2 weeks after the surgery for further results. If you aren’t feeling like all your hard work is paying off and you need a little something extra, learn more about what Liposculpture by Dr. Garo Kassabian can do for you. Call us today for our 1-Day Laser Liposuction Procedure with Skin Tightening.

If you’re not ready for Liposculpture, try Lift MD Aesthetic’s® Body Contour Kit which aids in reducing the appearance of cellulite while tightening the skin using topical products; or cellulite reducing activewear like the Body Sculpting Capri.
